If we're talking about the right thing to do, then charging people for an 
upgrade in order to get the functionality promised by the current version 
is not it.

I and many others are still waiting for the fix for:

  o Repeating events being shifted forward by a day during a sync
  o Correct syncing of events that are in a different timezone

The first one particularly means that I've been unable to use the software 
that I paid for because it effectively (and randomly) corrupts ical data. 
Considering these problems were reported in September last year, and the 
fix now being suggested is to *purchase* an upgrade that will be available 
in June this year - this most definitely is not doing 'the right thing'.
